New York and Athens – March 4th, 2013 - Antenna Satellite (ANT1) aired the fifth episode of Hellenic Home Hunting on March 4th, 2013 in North America and Europe featuring a British woman of Greek descent looking to buy a home in the town of Larissa, Greece. Viewed by more than 1 million viewers, the 30 minute episode captured the house hunting experience – giving viewers insight into the Greek real estate market, its processes, laws, procedures and obstacles.

This episode featured a British woman of Greek descent looking for a home investment in the centrally-located city of Larissa. Prospective buyer, Lorraine Eyre, brought along her local friend, Natasha Oikonomopoulou, to help with the house hunting experience. Being a busy businesswoman in the fashion scene, Lorraine is looking for a central hub to buy a house – allowing for quick access to Athens, Thessaloniki and the airport in Volos. Lorraine found a local property agent using the real estate website dedicated to the Greek property market, www.GreekPropertyExchange.com.

Featured in this episode is professional realtor, George Thanopoulos. Working with Lorraine’s wish list of 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, eco-friendly finishes, a swimming pool and a budget of € 450,000, George lined up 3 homes in the center of Larissa and the neighborhood of Terpsithea. After recapping with her realtor and getting answers to her questions, Lorraine selected a house that met her requirements but was slightly above her initial budget – making Hellenic Home Hunting a positive experience for her.

Hellenic Home Hunting is a half-hour documentary-style show featuring Greek real estate agents and their foreign home-buying clients as they hunt for investment properties in Greece (Hellas). In addition to featuring real estate from Greece, the new TV series aims to showcase the individual stories of the buyers while promoting the beauty of Greece, its culture and various regions throughout the country. The show is considered the first of its kind to feature Greek property through an innovative approach that also promotes tourism and investment.

Georgios Stroumboulis, President & Founder of GreekPropertyExchange.com and BouliBrand Media, said that “the new TV show idea was inspired by the need to better communicate the process of buying property in Greece and to provide a fresh and positive outlook on Greece during these economically-challenging times.”

The Hellenic Home Hunting series is broadcasted worldwide on Antenna Satellite during the primetime slot. Airing on Mondays at 21:00 in North America and Europe, and Thursdays at 21:00 in Australia, this show is helping reposition Greece as a premier travel destination.
